Welcome: Birthday Tees

Welcome Leeds has just dropped a range of shirts for the first birthday party tomorrow - some reprints of the first designs plus the Haringesque party print.

For those around Leeds this weekend; its gonna be huge. The King for a Day BMX Jam on Hyde park all day saturday - this has been crazy the last two years and a fitting memorial to a good guy. As well as free cake and raffles all day instore at Welcome, they are holding a party at Nation of Shopkeepers which coincides with the latest Yorkshire Puddings prem: Dayzed and Confused. No excuses.

Playing catch up a little due to being away from the computer for a few days - here's a nice lil promo for the Flwrider x New Era collab

Visualizing the lines



Pretty interesting bit of film from Vans - well worth a watch. I also just read that Muska got arrested for tagging in Hollywood. Come on man, you're a millionaire skateboarder not a 15 year old from Beeston!

BYOB Alleycat : San Juan

This looks amazing - real good turnout on loads of different bike types. Its always good to see race footage from other cities and the mix of camera angle gives a good perspective on what its like to ride that place.

Mutiny don't seem to get much wrong in the video footage they release and this banger ups the ante for the future...

Spartacus Madone

Trek do a pretty good job with releasing some bangers every year during the tour. These spartacus whips for the LeopardTrek team are no exception : They look mean as hell!

Onitsuka Mexico 66 Cycling

Taking the silhouette of the Mexico 66, Onitsuka added some features targetting the cyclist : A harder rubber outsole. perforated upper and reflective tape worked into the detailing. I'd rock these for sure.

Skoda Tour ad


Skoda are continuing a great run of adverts with this new Tour special.

Familiar Blue

I posted the first of Noca's Custom Bikes a good while back and he just sent over some shots of his new build. Easton scandium with Reynolds fork and a proper aggro geometry again built by Valdemiro. Very nice man!

Geraint Thomas - Le Tour de Beers


















As I'm sure you will all remember earlier this year, British cyclist extraordinaire Geraint Thomas became the official international ambassador for Fixed Gear Leeds via Twitter - on the condition that we got him a few beers...
Geraint has been tearing through the field over the last 3 days of Le Tour and is currently sitting 4th in the GC at only 4 seconds off the lead and is celebrating his 3rd day in the White Jersey.
Le Tour is famous for being one of, if not the toughest sporting events in the world so to add an extra little incentive for when those legs start to burn we are offering the chance for G to RIDE FOR BEERS! Here's how it works....

White jersey - 25 beers (already secured!)
Top 20 finish - 25 beers
Yellow Jersey - 50 beers
Stage win - 50 beers

That's a total of 150 beers that are up for grabs and we'll even throw in a Fixed Gear Leeds t-shirt! (you can fob it off to Bradley if the size is too small)

Good luck, ride hard and think of how drunk you could be this time next month...

Fred Perry x NariFuri

The latest line in the collab looks real good - same cycling referenced detailing and some nice tonal patterning.

Milltag: Peleton Pricematch

The guys at milltag have come up with an interesting way of offering discount on the jersey range during this years tour. A number of this year's TDF favourites have been assigned a jersey with discount set for different race positions - check out the Milltag site for a full breakdown of riders and discount.

One question: If you get discount on the Contador jersey, will you have to give it back when he's found guilty?

CVLT x Vans

Atwood Mids look damn nice...
